Chapter 23 Grandmaster Warrior (Please collect and read)
Inside Jiaotai Hall.

Listening to the shouting and fighting outside, Emperor Zhengyong was shaking with anger.

Wang Zhongyi, who was standing beside him, was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Okay.

It was you who submitted the petition to ask the Emperor to offer sacrifices to heaven.

It was you who forced the emperor to do this for a month.

It is you who are the ones who purge the emperor's side.

In the end, all the blame fell on me!
It’s really... too bullying!

Wang Zhongyi immediately said, "Your Majesty, let me go out and kill them all!"

"Not urgent."

Emperor Zhengyong gritted his teeth and said, "We have been fishing for so long, isn't it just for this day?"

"Order the Imperial Guards to resist the rebels outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Under the order of Emperor Zhengyong, teams of imperial guards rushed out from various parts of the palace and built a defense line outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Finally, Yang Xiang's imperial army arrived.

Both sides were elite troops of the Dayu Dynasty, and they immediately started fighting each other.

After the Imperial Guards.

Yang Kang, a scholar, also wore armor and looked at the chaotic square and said in a serious tone: "Father, His Majesty seems to have made preparations?"

"so what?"

At this moment, Yang Xiang was in high spirits and said loudly, "According to the intelligence from our spies, the only people under the command of Emperor Yong are the Imperial Guards, a part of the Imperial Guards, and his own assassins."

"The Longxiang Army is trapped in Nanyue County and Datong Prefecture. Most of the border troops have been disabled, and they are also being pinned down by the Wu Kingdom and the rebel army."

"Not only do I have the Imperial Guards under my command, I also have the help of martial artists, plus the Destiny Sect and the Mayfly Tower, hahahaha..."

"Tonight, I am the destiny!"

"Guang'er, kill!"

"Here!"

"Herodi~!"

Behind Yang Xiang, Yang Guang, whose entire body and even his horse were covered in armor, waved his hand, and immediately fully armed cavalrymen rushed out from behind him and killed the Imperial Guards.

"kill!"

With a roar, hundreds of figures leaped out from the surrounding palaces and walls.

Armed with long swords, broadswords, huge axes and other weapons, they charged into the Royal Guards from the side.

Martial artists!

Dayu was a country founded on military power, so there are hundreds of martial arts schools in the capital.

Among these martial arts schools, more than half were won over by Yang Xiang through various means.

Now he rushed into the Imperial Guards, killing them immediately and causing them to fall off their horses and retreat continuously.

"kill!"

"Your Majesty has issued an order! Prime Minister Yang is plotting a rebellion. Anyone who kills Prime Minister Yang will be rewarded with a ten thousand household marquisate!"

"Prime Minister Yang is plotting a rebellion!"

"Whoever kills Prime Minister Yang will be rewarded with a ten thousand household marquisate!"

Amid roars, two more groups of people rushed out from the surrounding palaces.

One team is dressed in brocade clothes and looks extremely fierce. They are the Imperial City Division.

The leader, Ma Jinwu, held a ghost-head broadsword and chopped down several rebels.

The other team is the one that provides offerings in the worship hall.

The strongest of them were all third-rank warriors, and although there were only a few hundred of them, they stood like a reef blocking the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and would not retreat no matter how the rebels charged.

"Hospitality?"

Yang Xiang looked indifferently at the figure blocking the Imperial Guards, turned around and said, "Bahar Guardian, these people are in your hands."

"Respected Minister Yang of Dayu, I hope that after today, you will abide by the deal you made with us."

There are only two figures here. The leader has high cheekbones and red and dark blue complexion, and it is obvious that he is not from Dayu.

The other one was wearing a red robe, even his eyebrows were red, and his eyes were fanatical.

Destiny Religion!
"Don't worry." Yang Xiang said, "As long as we can force Emperor Zhengyong to abdicate today, Bingzhou and Zangzhou will be allocated to Tianming Sect for preaching and become your temple!"

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"

"kill!"

The leader of the aliens shouted angrily, and quickly turned into a phantom. He passed the imperial guards and rushed into the worship courtyard.

Behind him, the leader of the Tianming Sect, Yang Tianjian, also laughed wildly and followed closely behind.

Two great masters took action and killed several warriors from the Temple of Worship immediately.

The Imperial Guards' formation collapsed immediately and they kept retreating, leaving behind a field of corpses.

"Chase!"

The rebels chased them, but the army continued to move forward. "Kang'er."

Prime Minister Yang called out to Yang Kang and said, "Go and take the people to set fire to the halls around the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Union and Peace. Make sure to contain the other people in the palace."

"Fire?"

Yang Kang was surprised and said: "Father, if this is the case, even if we win, all we will get is a scorched earth!"

"Only set fire to these halls. Do not set fire to the harem or side halls."

Prime Minister Yang said: "Using fire attack, we can force Emperor Zhengyong to make a backup plan as soon as possible. Even if he has an ambush, he will not be able to reveal all of them."

"When Huan'er is born, he will be the new emperor of the Dayu Dynasty!"

"This... is, father!"

The rebels continued their siege and killing, and after a while, huge fires broke out in the palaces around the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

Outside Jiaotai Hall.

Looking at the blazing fire, Emperor Zhengyong's face became extremely ugly.

"Damn it... Yang Xuangan is crazy! How dare he set fire to the palace!"

"We can't wait any longer. Let Master Zhao and the Shadow Guard take action."

"Yes... Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhongyi waved his hand, and a group of little eunuchs with strange figures rushed out from the shadows and killed the rebels.

"Big friend, have someone go and get the immortal seed out. Dayu has been nurturing scholars for three hundred years, isn't it just for this day?"

“This…” Wang Zhongyi hesitated and said, “Your Majesty is responsible for the safety of thousands of people in Dayu, and I cannot leave Your Majesty.”

"Why don't we let Xiao Chengzi go? He has a calm personality and will never make mistakes."

Emperor Zhengyong hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

Wang Zhongyi called Xiao Chengzi over and whispered a few words to him. Xiao Chengzi hurriedly agreed and quickly retreated.

Outside the Jiaotai Hall, Zhao Suling and a well-built official were also walking towards the rebels.

"Alas... I just want to drink and play with women. What is this Yang Xuangan crazy about? He actually dared to start a rebellion!"

"Trouble! Trouble!"

The official walked while shaking his head, his words full of resentment.

"My Lord, please be careful. I sense something is wrong with the rebels today."

Zhao Suling continued, her words full of caution.

The wise prince.

The eighteenth brother of the late emperor and the uncle of Emperor Zhengyong.

He showed amazing talent in martial arts since childhood, but unfortunately he was a playboy, had no interest in the throne, and spent his days wandering around the martial arts world and brothels.

But even so, he reached the Grandmaster level at the age of fifty-five.

He is one of the only two jade token holders in the temple.

He is also the only Grandmaster warrior in the Dayu royal family.

"Oh? Could there be a congenital master?"

"Perhaps."

Zhao Suling agreed and rushed out of the palace wall of Jiaotai Palace.

He stretched out his hand and swung it. Immediately, a three-foot-long sword energy shot out, cutting the two cavalrymen in half, along with their horses.

Under the guidance of the Qi, he immediately started fighting with Bahar, the guardian of the Tianming Sect.

"unlucky!"

Prince Xian also cursed inwardly, rushed into the rebels, and stopped the leader of the Tianming Sect, Yang Tianjian.

For a while, the four of them fought endlessly, the atmosphere was tense, and no soldier around dared to approach them.

Jiaotai Hall is remote.

Zheng Yi also jumped onto the roof to watch the fighting in the distance.

When Yang Xiang rebelled, Emperor Zhengyong transferred almost all the guards to resist the rebels.

The guards who were guarding outside his courtyard had already withdrawn, and even the eunuchs and palace maids were nowhere to be found.

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for.

"Prime Minister Yang is planning a rebellion. Emperor Zhengyong must have a backup plan... Xu Mujun!"

Zheng Yi quietly sneaked out of the villa, stole a piece of eunuch's clothes and put it on himself.

"No wonder I was forced to run to Concubine Duan's palace and have babies with her."

"He must have thought of this and used Concubine Duan and her unborn child to win over Xu Mujun."

"It's been so long, maybe Xu Mujun has already hidden in some corner of the palace."

"Prime Minister Yang is planning a rebellion... He will lose!"

After putting on his clothes, he smeared some mud on his face, and after figuring out the direction, he immediately headed towards the Jiaotai Hall.

As a first-class warrior, he would be fine as long as he didn't encounter the grandmaster warriors under Yang Xiang.

Soon, Jiaotai Hall was in sight.

"Hey you... come here quickly, we have something important to do!"
